Phyllis Schlafly's Compelling, Pro-Family Voice Inspiresby Staff
October 7, 2008
ST. LOUIS, (christiansunite.com) -- One week before Senator John McCain announced Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his vice presidential running mate, pro-family leader Phyllis Schlafly was working behind the scenes with GOP leaders in St. Paul, MN to insure the pro-life plank remained in the Republican platform. As President of Eagle Forum and Chairman of the Republican National Coalition for Life, Schlafly is an influential voice on issues and policies shaping the political, spiritual and moral landscape of America. In October, The Phyllis Schlafly Report, her daily radio broadcast, will celebrate 25 years on the air.
The Phyllis Schlafly Report has become three of the most important minutes in radio. Heard on more than 550 U.S. stations, the daily news and information feature delivers concise and clear coverage of the most relevant issues of our day. Recently, Schlafly has devoted programs to affirm the sanctity of life, resist the gay and feminist agendas, call for stronger borders, stand up to activist judges, protect homeschoolers' rights, warn parents about the liberal bias of the NEA and most university professors, and expose the dangers of trade with China.
"We've never hesitated to address controversial issues over these 25 years on the air," said Schlafly, who Ladies' Home Journal named one of the 100 most important women of the 20th century. "Our victories reflect the strength of the American people and the vision of our Founding Fathers."
Dr. James Dobson of Focus on the Family recently expressed his appreciation of Schlafly's enduring work. "You've been a voice for conservative, biblical values for more than four decades. Thanks for fighting the good fight through all these years. "
In 1983, Dick Bott, Founder of the Bott Radio Network, encouraged Schlafly to launch a radio program after reading her biography by Carol Felsenthal, The Sweetheart of the Silent Majority. Bott appreciated Schlafly's positive perspective. He said, "The book pointed out her values, beliefs and strong faith. I thought she ought to be telling her story in her own words."
Bott connected Schlafly with Domain Communications in Carol Stream, IL. After more than 6,500 broadcasts, the partnership continues to deliver fresh content every weekday.
When asked to weigh in on Senator McCain's recent nomination of the strong female, pro-life Governor, Schlafly responded enthusiastically, "Sarah Palin is an outstanding governor, an exemplar of all that is good and true."
